The Disarmament Conference was a League of Nations' attempt led by Arthur Henderson, from 1931-34 to reduce world armaments. It was an abysmal failure because of the irreconcilable conflict between Germany and France - Germany wanted equality of status in armament levels, the French wanted a military advantage over Germany in case she attacked again. The talks got nowhere, and when Adolf Hitler pulled Germany out of the Conference in October 1933, it effectively ended. [5] 276 H.C. Debs., 23 March 1933, cols. 609-10. [6] 270 H.C.
